Fortune teller Cui Yan _ Cui Yan Fortune teller

Why didn't Cao Cao choose Cao Zhi as the successor of Wei in history?

The first is personality. Cui Yan is a tall and handsome man with a four-foot beard. Even if he lives at home, he has great dignity. How careful you are to have a four-foot beard. In "World New Year", a story about the visit of a Hun emissary was recorded. Cao Cao felt that he was short and not decent enough, so he let Cui Yan sit on the throne instead of himself, while he stood by with a knife.

After the messenger came to visit, Cao Cao sent someone to inquire about the messenger's comments. The messenger said: "Wang Wei is very interested; However, grabbing a knife by the bed is a hero. " This story, of course, is to set off Cao Cao, but it also proves that Cui Yan looks extraordinary and personable. In ordinary life, Cui Yan is a rigorous and down-to-earth person. But what about Cao Zhi?

Recorded Cao Zhi's "simplicity, no dignity". Cao Zhi is a gifted scholar. His life has no shelf. He does things informally. He often drinks and sings with friends like Rockett and Yang Xiu. He doesn't know enough is enough, and sometimes he doesn't even pay attention to the occasion. In Cao Zhi's life, he likes to follow his feelings and do whatever he wants. It is completely different from Cui Yan's rigor.

Secondly, it is because of Cui Yan's values. Cui Yan is a standard Confucian scholar, always thinking about the world, not the people. When Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he looked at Jizhou's hukou and sighed happily at the families of the martyrs. Alas, Jizhou is so big that it can recruit 300 thousand soldiers! Cui Yan threw cold water on Cao Cao head-on, and Cui Yan said, "Today, the sky is falling apart and Kyushu is falling apart. Two original brothers fought, Zheng Yuanye of Hebei. I didn't hear Wang Sheng go first, ask the customs and save my life. This is a plan of the school, and it is the most important, which makes my ministers feel ashamed of the dignitaries! "

Now the world is falling apart, people are living in poverty, and Jizhou has just been pacified. You Cao Cao don't care about the people, don't know the customs, but care about the army, which really disappoints the people of Jizhou! All the courtiers were scared to death at that time. Who dares touch Cao Cao's bad luck? Fortunately, Cao Cao was generous and admitted his mistake.

When Cui Yan criticized Cao Cao, he did not consider his own safety, but only thought of the people and the world. When choosing a prince, Cui Yan didn't care whether Cao Zhi was his nephew. Cui Yan's loyalty, integrity and selflessness shocked all officials. Even Cao Cao lamented that Cui Yan was "smart". So few people are honest and selfless! The most important thing is Cui Yan's political inclination.

Cao Zhi is very talented, but he is good at writing poems. How about dealing with political affairs? Cao Zhi is willful, writes poems and songs, and drinks most of the time. He doesn't do practical things, and even does something deviant. For example, Cao Zhi once rode on a road that only the emperor could pass, which made Cao Cao furious and said that he would never trust Cao Zhi or any of his sons again. But what about xelloss?

Cao Pi once went hunting when he was young, and there were some shortcomings in the details of his life. However, when Cui Yingying told Cao Pi that this was not the case, Cao Pi replied very modestly: "Yesterday I was ordered to be nice and fold the burnt urn. The coffin is broken and the folds are gone. After this ratio, I will be blessed. " Cao Pi said, I will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future and won't make the same mistake again. It can be seen that Cao Pi has government affairs in his heart and listens to other people's suggestions, so he attaches great importance to etiquette.

Of course, Cao Pi is a hypocritical person, and many things are for the world and for Cao Cao. But when hypocrisy can bring benefits to the country and people, it will be fine. So Cui Yan resolutely chose Cao Pi, who is rigorous in life, good at coachable and dedicated to serving the country, and gave up his frivolous and alcoholic nephew son-in-law, Cao Zhi.

Character has become a necessary quality for an heir. Although Cao Cao has always liked Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi has many shortcomings and is not the best candidate for his successor. So Cao Cao finally followed his advice and chose Cao Pi as his successor.
